First of all, any western conference team that attempts to acquire Clifford will have to OVERPAY for him. Forget it Richard, he's going east. Thats why your blog is ridiculous. You think the kings management wants to face him, what is it now...6-8 times a year, or, 2 times??????

Lol, this folks - is another bandwagon fan from when LA won and now think he has alllll the knowledge in the world, new hat and all.

I highly doubt the Kings are worried about a freakin' 3rd line scrub burning them in his whopping ~7 minutes a game from here on out, brah'.

Turn your hat to the front and pay attention.

He's a 3rd liner that has a bit of a scoring touch and can knock a first line player out for the year...get it now?

Newsflash: Hockey is a rough sport, and pretty much any player who gets caught with their head down, by any other player in the NHL - is likely going to get hurt.

Kyle Clifford is not Scott Stevens or Nik Kronwall

If anyone gives up a first round pick for Clifford we might as well just scrap this CBA and start the next lockout now.

marincin. he's worth a late first rounder. Probably a safer prospect than Klefbom in that he had a good professional season in NA
- TheNugeIsHuge


I wouldn't call Marincin a top Prospect. That being said I don't want him to be moved. Unless it's strait across not with a pick.

But in order for Mac T to aquire someone in their own div they will be forced to over pay.

Why not just offer sheet him? It'll be a 2nd round pick instead of giving up someone like Marincin+ a prospect.

Clifford is a guy who can benefit by playing with skilled guys. Could end up being a Scott Hartnell who is an awesome complimentary player who mucks it up.

He's not really an open ice hitter. He is more of a tough forechecker or a gritty winger.

I don't disagree, but its the money he's signed to that would determine how fast we get to another lock out...if 3rd liners can get paid like 2nd liners...we're in trouble as fans...

What an ignorant statement. You have no idea how Cliffors plays otherwise you would have not made this statement. As King fan for 40 plus years, playing against him twice a year is enough...carry on wienerhead.

Even playing with Nuge/Hall/Eberle/Yak, you really think that guy has 30 goal potential?

he was somewhere near a 45th pick n he's only progressed better than expected. Doesn't have Klefbom's ceiling but theres probably a safer chance he makes the NHL as a top 4 guy

I have no idea how he plays? Clearly I don't live in California, nor have I watched him at all over the past few years, including that cup run they had not too long ago.

Nope, never seen him before in my life. He's a 3rd liner, and that's all he'll ever be dude.

Not sure what the hell you're talking about. And you should get banned as well for the insult.

It just proves you're wrong and don't have a leg to stand on, genius.



Dan Carcillo stayed west. I bet the Hawks are shaking in their booties

Worth the overpay.

agreed.

think he's the definition of a guy we want to be careful and take time with. but im amped on what he might become. big, smooth skater, two way guy.

If a 3rd line guy can pot you 20 geno's then he's an elite bottom six guy who can you can plug in the top 6 whenever.
